IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH BY STRENGTHENING YOUR CORE
30 minutes every day, you can get better sleep at night, in addition to improving your strength, flexibility, and heart health. 4. Eating nutritious meals. If you are in pain, it is incredibly important to eat the right foods. A poor diet can aggravate your pain by causing further inflammation, especially when eating processed or fried foods. Instead, make it a habit to eat vegetables, fruits, and lean protein. It is also important to drink a lot of water, as dehydration can dry out your tissues. Keep a glass of water by your desk and refill it during the day so you (and your tissues) stay hydrated. 5. Getting expert help. The best solution for your back or neck pain is to restore proper movement, strength, and coordination for maximum results. Our Elite Physical Therapists are here to help you improve your function and relieve your pain. If you are looking to strengthen your core, relieve your pain, and improve your overall health, contact us today!
How can I strengthenmy coremuscles? 1. Improving your posture. Make sure to stand up frequently, at least every 30 minutes, and vary your positions of work throughout the day. Aim to correct your posture when sitting and standing, making adjustments as needed. 2. Avoiding injury. Make sure you know the proper way to lift, bend, and pick up objects, even if they are not heavy. It is important to lift with your legs, rather than your back. Our experts can show you proper body mechanics with everyday tasks. 3. Getting adequate rest and exercise. Every day takes a toll on your body, even if you don’t realize it.

Exercising can help you fall asleep earlier, allowing you towake up feeling refreshed the next day. By taking a walk for at least

FULCRUM ATHLETICS “Over the past couple years we’ve developed a great working relationship with Elite Physical Therapy. They are some of the first physical therapists in the Southern Massachusetts area, at least that we’ve had experiences with, that seem to really take care in getting to really know, and treat their clients. It’s tough as a CrossFit gym owner, and passionate coach, to find health professionals who don’t already have a negative disposition toward CrossFit, whether they understand it, or not. For us, we place value in that personalized care with a Physical Therapist that we may occasionally receive.” - Bryce B.
